FinlandThe docker plans to hold a 24-hour strike at all of Finland's ports on February 2 as part of a political protest against the government's employment policy.
Port workers, as members of the Transport Workers' Union (AKT), will join strike protests from 6 am on February 2 until 6 am on February 3.
In addition, the Finnish Seamen's Union (FSU) has urged all its members to attend a protest at the Helsinki Senate Square at 11 am on February 2.
It is learned that the country's trade unions oppose the new unemployment guarantee act, which came into effect earlier this year. The union emphasized that the new act is "another exploitation of unemployment protection."
Since the beginning of this year, Finland has demanded that unemployed persons report on a quarterly basis to the unemployment fund or social insurance agency (Carat) about the progress of their job search. Unemployment funds or social insurance agencies then assess whether they are active enough to find a job. If they think those people are not doing enough to find a job, the jobless benefits will be cut by 4.65% over the next three months.
